Question

What is the average pressure exerted by the molecules on the walls of the container?

Answer 1

Answer:

This question appears to be incomplete

Explanation:

However, we know that one of the kinetic theories of gases is that gas molecules collide with one another and against the walls of the container (in which they are stored); hence exerting there pressure on the walls of this container.

Ideal gases are the most suitable for this theory because it's molecules are far apart and do not exert any attractive forces towards one another; hence it's molecules move "undisturbed" or "freely". For ideal gases, the average pressure exerted by by the gas molecules on the walls of the container can be calculated as

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure (in atmosphere, atm or kilopascal, KPa or millimeter mercury, mmHg)

V = volume (in liters)

n = number of molecules

R = ideal gas constant (8.3145 J·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹)

T = temperature (in kelvin)
